Secretly A Society Summons You IV
Sunlight streams through your window, cascading off of the various trinkets in your bedroom in a dazzling display of color. You quickly regret not closing your blinds last night until a thought bolts you upright - you overslept!
Your farm has plenty of morning chores to catch up on, and in the back of your mind, the request from Buddy about explosives, and the strange symbols keep you from focusing fully on the tasks at hand. Your animals seem to take offense to your half-hearted attention as you think about what Buddy could possibly have been doing with such destructive power - and why he had it in the first place.
Chores completed, you realize Buddy never gave you instructions on where to meet him, so you make the assumption to head to the site of the explosion last night and hope to find him there. The area has been largely cordoned off. A few fire squad members wave to you half in exhaustion as you walk by. The area has been decimated and it's a miracle no one was hurt. There is smoke rising from the center of the explosion still, and ash has settled upon the area, a few pieces of misshapen paper and other material strewn about. You think you see a piece of paper with a caricature of a certain friend, but you can't be sure.
As you approach, you notice the tree that Buddy spoke to you behind on the previous night is completely gone. It must have burned up in one of the secondary fires, you think to yourself. You look around a little more and notice another 50 meters further there is another innocuous building and a shadow that beckons you closer. Time for some answers!
"Well, thanks for the spheres matey, but after a quick consultation this morning, I've realized I'm going to need to build some containment units in case we need a more...controlled explosion."
You consider the implication of those words and decide to double the requested materials Buddy needs.
